Francisco Figueiredo’s first octagon finish was a nasty one when he violently tapped out Daniel da Silva at UFC on ESPN 35 on Saturday.
Figueiredo (13-4-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) wasted no time getting the job done at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. After getting taken down by da Silva (11-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) early on, he rolled into a kneebar and cranked to elicit the tap from his opponent just 78 seconds into the flyweight fight.
Check out the replay of Figueiredo’s victory, which was the kneebar in the history of the 125-pound division, below (via Twitter):
